Claremont is an attractive suburb not far from the centre of Cape Town, Kirstenbosch, the Constantia wine farms and the Newlands sports stadiums.

Knowing exactly where to position yourself when you visit Cape Town can be quite tricky as it’s a big city with many widespread attractions. Claremont, however, is a popular location because of its close proximity to some of Cape Town’s most beautiful areas and most sought-after attractions. The suburb itself is also incredibly beautiful and well organised, and with Table Mountain in the background, few can offer any complaints.

Claremont is alongside the suburbs of Newlands and Wynberg. Rondebosch, Observatory and Cape Town Centre is to the north while Constantia and Muizenberg are to the south.

Some of Cape Town’s most famous attractions lie just 15 to 20 kilometres from Claremont. They include the V & A Waterfront with the Two Oceans Aquarium and trips to Robben Island, Greenmarket Square and the District Six Museum. Taking the cable car up Table Mountain is also a highly recommended activity. In Cape Town and its surrounding areas there so many fantastic things to do – things that will suit every age and every personality.

Kirstenbosch

From your hotel in Claremont, Kirstenbosch is around the corner. The Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is the largest of South Africa’s nine national botanical gardens and was the first botanic garden in the world established to protect a country’s indigenous flora. Amazingly, it is also the first botanic garden announced as a natural World Heritage Site.

Kirstenbosch is found on the slopes of Table Mountain in the Cape Floristic Region, or the Cape Floral Kingdom, and it borders the Table Mountain National Park. In the gardens of Kirstenbosch, there are some splendid works of art to be admired, such as five life-sized dinosaurs, African stone structures, animal bronzes, a bust of Nelson Mandela and a beautiful Cape clawless otter in the Otter Pond. The park hosts regular indoor and outdoor art shows at their venues. Another feature of the gardens is the Botanical Society Conservatory, a custom-built glasshouse that protects many plant species that thrive indoors. Visitors can enjoy one of the three restaurants available, shop at the Kirstenbosch Garden Centre for indigenous plants or garden accessories, stop at the gift shop for lovely Kirstenbosch memorabilia, clothing or homeware or even pick up a book or two at the Botanical Society Bookshop. Tours of the gardens are available if you would like to learn about the over 7000 plant species, many of which are rare or threatened species, found at Kirstenbosch.

Perhaps the best thing to do at Kirstenbosch is to walk along the Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway, a 130 metre steel and timber bridge that takes visitors from the floor of the forest up into the trees and to the very top of the canopy for spectacular views of the surrounding gardens and mountains. The relatively new walkway is really an exceptional addition to the gardens. Other lovely walks are available through Kirstenbosch as well.

Claremont Attractions

In Claremont is one of Cape Town’s most stylish and modern shopping centres, Cavendish Square. It’s an award-winning centre with over 250 elite stores, 16 state-of-the-art cinemas and 19 coffees shops and restaurants. There isn’t much that you won’t find at Cavendish Square!

Staying in Claremont is also very convenient if you plan to watch a rugby match at the Newlands Rugby Stadium in Newlands, a suburb next to Claremont. It is the second oldest rugby stadium in the world and is the home ground for Western Province and the Stormers. Of course, the Newlands Cricket Stadium is right here as well, a stadium famous for being witness to some remarkable cricket action. With Table Mountain in the background, it is one of the most beautiful cricket stadiums in the world.

From Claremont it’s easy to make your way to some of the finest of South African beaches. Clifton Beach in particular is not far from Claremont and considered as one of the world’s top 10 beaches. It’s Blue Flag status says it all! Camps Bay and Bantry Bay are on either side of Clifton and are both areas renowned for their beautiful beaches.

Claremont Wine Farms

A large number of Cape Town’s visitors are interested in seeing the gorgeous wine farms for which the Cape is so famous. The wine farms of the Constantia Valley are very close to Claremont and are some of the oldest wine producing farms in the southern hemisphere. This region has been producing remarkable wines consistently since 1685! Some of the estates, for example the largest one, Groot Constantia, are wonderful examples of Cape Dutch architecture. Exceptional wine tasting opportunities and cellar tours are available at the nine Constantia wine farms and there are several award-winning restaurants in the area as well.
